    Abstract: A mechanism for reducing stiction in a MEMS device by decreasing an amount of carbon from TEOS-based silicon oxide films that can accumulate on polysilicon surfaces during fabrication is provided. A carbon barrier material film (510, 520) is deposited between one or more polysilicon layer (210, 230) in a MEMS device and the TEOS-based silicon oxide layer (220). This barrier material blocks diffusion of carbon into the polysilicon, thereby reducing accumulation of carbon on the polysilicon surfaces. By reducing the accumulation of carbon, the opportunity for stiction due to the presence of the carbon is similarly reduced.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for MEMS device fabrication. A layer of photoresist is formed on a substrate. A first region of the substrate is exposed to a radiation source through a photomask. The first region of exposed photoresist is developed with a developer solution in order to etch the exposed regions to a first depth. A second region is exposed to radiation through a second photomask. The second photomask defines areas in which a bump feature is intended on the substrate. The second region is developed with the developer solution, preparing the first and second exposed regions for a layer of metal. A layer of metal is deposited on the substrate, such that the metal attaches to both the substrate and any remaining photoresist on the substrate. The remaining photoresist and its attached metal is dissolved away leaving an interconnect pattern and at least one bump feature.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for depositing a nonstick coating onto the surface of micromechanical structures (5a; 7a) on a substrate (Sub), whereby the material or precursor material to be deposited is supplied to the structures (5a; 7a) in a solvent and transport medium. The solvent and transport medium used is a supercritical CO2 fluid. Deposition of the material or precursor material is brought about by a physical change of state of the CO2 fluid or by a surface reaction between the surface and the precursor material. The inventive method allows to coat the micromechanical structures (5a; 7a) in a cavern (14) or in a cavity after their encapsulation, whereby the material to be deposited is supplied via access channels (15) or perforation holes.
